• 0:19
  Speaker 4: Serious, man, what are we doing? I have to tell
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: a mustache story about Franny. We had beards and we
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: were sucking with the Phillies and we went in to
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: play the Tigers and you remember, and we both shaved
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: fu Man choose yeah, and we went out and ah, man,
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: I forget Valdez. Caesar Valdez I think started for us,
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: and Miguel Cabrera said, I'm gonna take the day off,
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: and then they saw him pitching and he goes nah.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: So he opted into the.
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: Lineup and we got waffled like twelve to two against
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: Max Scherzer, who didn't even go past five. And we
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: had these stupid fud man choos. Not all facial hair
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: choices work when you get there. Oh my gosh, look
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: at that thing.
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: Do you remember when you did that series two you
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: shaved your head to put a line in it too.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: I did anything for a win. Show that.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Get that again? That picture again? Yeah, there's mine. There's wow.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: You guys both look like you committed crimes that day.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: We don't want to talk about it. We do not
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: want to talk again.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, that looks like with hair.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: He had a great, great little bit bit on the
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: back right there. So what's you guys? Good?
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're good. District territory sounds great. We're loving hearing
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: more about the Nats. Tell us what you guys are
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: talking about lately. I would assume that overall the sentiment
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: is pretty solid given where you know, the team was
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: coming into this season, Like they're they're playing good ball.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: I know they have their flaws, right, Are they great
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: at run prevention right now?
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: No?
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: But man, they're swinging the bats.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: This guy, that's a very nice way of putting it. No.
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: Look, it's pleasantly surprising. Like I feel like you look
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: at the season and you go, Okay, highest score, run
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: score a team of the league. They scored the least
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: amount of runs in spring training. Spring doesn't Spring training
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: doesn't tell you anything, right, Like a whole lot. Let's
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: just say you can't guarantee anything off that, but there
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: wasn't a lot of like hard contact from the guys,
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: and so you're like going, is this surprising? Maybe the
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: first couple of weeks honestly, but you you're getting into
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: what game fifty today and you're leading the league and
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: run scored. So is this the offense? I think it's
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: a pretty good idea of what they have now. Defensively,
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: it's no one's even close to the errors right now,
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: right like they have shot themselves in the foot. You
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: look at the unearned runs that they've given up or
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: had as well, and it's like, how are you guys
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: one game under five hundred. Well, the offense has really
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: been a huge band aid on this. And it's not
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: from the lack of work. These guys work. This is
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: like the craziest part is these guys are working so
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: hard on the infield stuff. Sometimes you know, just the players,
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: they got to do it in the game and not
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: sometimes they got to do it in a game, you know, consistently,
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: and they haven't done it enough defensively, But I mean,
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: this is a team that I don't know, they've given
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: away four or five games easy, and they've been awesome
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: on the road. So they've done a lot of great things.
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: It's going to be along, you know, long road ahead.
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: We get that whole thing. They've played well in the division,
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: so I mean, looking forward, it's just get better, better
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: in the pitching side, get better on the defensive side,
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: and if you can, you know, maintain most of what
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: you've done.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Offensively, it could be a great second half.
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: All right, Let's say they maintained the hitting. I love
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: talking about the fact that they're just scoring so many runs,
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: but then you look at it and you go, well,
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: it's not a lot of it's not a ton of homers,
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: not leading the league in homers. So teams other fans
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: will be like, oh, well, how does this happen?
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Is it there? What? What?
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: But Terra talked about their athleticism, steal in so many
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: bases of athleticism, But that doesn't that also a tribute
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: to their errors too. They kind of sometimes take that
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: they don't take that last step on a ground ball
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: that would put them in position, because you know what,
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: I'm athletic and I've just made these plays all the time.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: So you can you have both? Can you be athletic
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: but still be fundamental or do you have to sacrifice
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: some of your athleticism to on the in the on
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: defense to become fundamental?
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: Well you know this, Kras, you had to sacrifice some
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: athleticism to help out your your defensive side.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying? Uh No, I know, uh,
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: you know what it's not.
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: Sometimes it's like one of those things where you know,
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: play with Eric Ibar was like one of the greatest
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: examples of it, Like that guy made errors that were
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: never routine. They were like plays that guys would never
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: get to because he got to them. And there's that
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: type of athleticism, right, but he's so good fundamentally that
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: you're going like, okay, so if you dumb it down
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: a little bit, now you don't make those plays, what's
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: it going to do your pitching staff? So you know
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: a lot of these are mental I think, not not.
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: It's a it's a mental, mental and physical combo. What
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: are your I see what is the read?
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: You know? What is that ground ball? Like?
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: Is it off the dirt? Are you charging right away?
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: Are you staying back? Are you confident?
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: You know? Like there's a lot of stuff mentally I
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: feel like for them that that is the problem confident wise.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: Like confidence wise, you look at it and you go, Okay,
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: these guys should be the most confident players. They're athletic,
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: they're young, they're doing all this, but they're some you know,
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: unsure of themselves. Na seem Nunia is definitely the furthest
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: thing away from that. He is so good defensively, Like
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: if I do think if he was not there at
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: second base, it is a different look this entire year
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: based on what he has done defensively there and in
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: center field with Jacob Young. So to your point, yeah,
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: maybe a little bit. I just think it's it's the
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: game action. I think it's years of really not paying
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: attention to detail, you know, for some of these guys,
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: some guys getting rushed up to big league and having
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: to keep trying to keep their head above water the
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: entire time and not really do the fundamental things. Even
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: if it was practiced or harped on, they weren't going anywhere.
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: They didn't feel scared about it. So now you're trying
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: to break those habits, and I feel like they're putting
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: themselves in a better spot of late, but they're still airs.
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: You know there's still some dumb airs, but they're physical errors.
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: There's not a lot of mental errors this year. When
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: you go like not knowing where to go to the
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: base right, throwing to the wrong base, doing all that stuff.
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: It's not as much that it's more physical, but you
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: can understand the mental side of it with the confidence
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: plays a huge part in making some place.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: We love our dog Fella, who splays out in the
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: open sun on our floor like she's an underwear model,
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: and that's why we love her so much.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: To scratch her belly.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: She's a cutie.
• 6:45

• 7:35
  Speaker 4: Right you're at the park quite a bit talking about
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: that defense, Blake P. Terek talked about we work five
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: hours of practice beforehand.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Is it too much? Franny? Is it too much? Is it?
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: Is it guys that are creating this, Are the coaches
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: that didn't play in the big leagues creating this because
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: this is what they think is going to work? Or
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: is this something that this is a team that needs
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: five hours of infield practice.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Well, they don't do.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: I mean their stuff is really intent, Like it has
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: a lot of intent. Right when you go and do
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: your job, like do your practice. It's not like they
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: We're gonna take it like five ground balls get loose,
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: a little flip here and everything has a clock on it, right,
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: and so they're out there ten fifteen minutes. But they're
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: out there you know, they their early work might be
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: a little bit earlier, just based on getting their action
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: in and making sure that you know, there's some pfps involved.
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: The pitchers are involved a lot, the outfielders are throwing
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: the bases. We're not seeing laziness out of that because
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: I think we've been around enough teams where there's guys
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: that just go about it and they're like, yeah, I'm good,
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: you know, and then you watch it during the game
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: and it's like you.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: Haven't seen crap out there, like you haven't worked on anything.
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: And so no, I look at this and I'm like,
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: there's a times where maybe they pull back, you know,
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: this whole thing with the inexperience thing. I was, you know,
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: wondering about it myself and watching this whole thing. I
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: don't care if I'm employed by them, I tell you
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: how it is like, but they have a pretty damn
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: good feel. Victor Stevez and and an taller smarslock with
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: the infielders. H Victory is like one of the most
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: renowned guys with the Milwaukee Brewers in their system, and
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: all the guys were just we just had both the
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: series against them and like everybody all around them, right
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: so guys like they love people like that Tyler, same
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: thing in Miami.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: And then you look on you know, with Corey Ray.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Corey Ray is a hell of an outfield coach in
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: his first year coaching. And you know, does it mean
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: that they're gonna be great on everything? No, But I
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: mean like they're they're pushing to a point. These are
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: young kids. They need to be molded still.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: You know, there's a lot of guys that might have well,
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: they they should have been in the minor leagues for
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: a lot longer than they were, right, and they were
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: brought up for different circumstances here at Washington, and it
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: really I feel like hampered their their development, their true development.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: And we're seeing them get developed.
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: Up here now, right with the guys that can coach,
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: teach it, and get get after it.
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: Frandy, is this the real c J. Abrams for saying
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: because he's off, he's off to a nice start. Is
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: this the real c J. Rams?
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: Just the one they've been waiting for for a couple
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: of years to become more consistent and become the star
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: that everyone thought he'd be when he first came over.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so.
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: I think so, because everything's it's not like you watch
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: him play and it's not forced right like they feel
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: like the last couple of years in the Lada spot,
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: it's like forced right, like you're going after you're gonna
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: go with your first you know.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: Got get my knock, Got get my knock.
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: Everything is so calm right now, and he's already weathered
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: a storm where you know, things were going right for
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: about a week and a half purpose and you're watching
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: this thing going huh, he's walking still right. I mean,
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: he's at a ten percent walk clip for that's definitely
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: the highest in his career. Doesn't strike out a whole lot.
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: He's very calm. We're seeing him driving runs. I mean
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: you think about like where he's been the last few
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: years in the Ladas spot. I mean, were we hindering them,
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: you know, in that spot, not having you know, guys
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: a drive in because he's been unbelievable runners and the
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: scoring position. And for all those out there again, this
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: is a perfect example about a guy and a different opportunity.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: Guys hunt RBI.
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: He can hunt RBI now and and and saying that
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: RBA is not a great statu it's a hell of
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: a stat not everybody's the same guy with runners on,
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: and this guy has proven to be one of the
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: top run producers in the game right now this year.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: So is it him? I think it's more like him. Yes.
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: I think we've seen a lot of similarities in the
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: past as far as numbers, but not as much effort
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: in this one. And that, to me is the one
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: where I feel like we're seeing him have routines everywhere.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: It's a work. He's working and doing everything right.
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: I think this is it and it's been It has
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: been really fun to watch, especially because it's there's actually
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: true growth that you're seeing from him.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: How much I mean C. J. Abrams has been in
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: the league for a minute. How much do people need
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: to stop and watch James would at bats since you
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: have been watching, I mean you would send me just
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: a random text. Everyone's while two iron and that's all
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: I would say. And because that's what he does. He
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: hits two irons when he's at the plate, and to me,
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: he hits it differently. But I feel like he's still
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: in that echelon of like baseball fans know who he
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: is and you get to watch him every single day.
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't take it for granted, I'll tell you
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: that watching a guy like him is just number one.
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: He's awesome, Like he's just a great human. He might
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: not give the best interviews, but that doesn't matter. He's
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: not the look at me and all this stuff. He's
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: funny off the field, he's like well respected. Everyone loves him.
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: You see him at the plate and you know you're right.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: And Aju and I.
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: Play with the greatest, right like in Bonds, and we
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: saw like what people would do in those moments. They
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: would stop everything in the stands. My dad would always
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: talk about, like his favorite time when I was playing,
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: you know, with Bonds was to go get food to
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: during in his the bats because no one was there,
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: no one was in line to get anything. I'm not
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: saying you're there, but you get to see people stop
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: everything they're doing off their phone and they're looking up
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: at James Wood, right. I mean, I feel like the
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: stuff that I look for in this Danzas scene. If
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: people are off their phones and it's a lot more
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: the last couple of years because pitchclock.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: And people are you know, things are going.
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: But I feel like when James is up, it is
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: mussy because you got a guy that's sixty six, six
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: to seven, Like, well, by the way, he lost an
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: inch this year.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: Because of abs. Uh that's six'.
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: Six that's that's so, lanky but so compact with his,
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: swing like it is such a ridiculously short, swing and
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: then that ball comes off the bat and you're, like
• 13:41

• 13:55
  Speaker 5: Know every TIME i got a ball off the end
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: of the, bat it was like to the shortstop he's
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: running In Like i've never SEEN I i personally haven't
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: seen a consistent where guy can miss the sweet spot
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: like that and hit a ball out to left center
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: or off the wall left center that like like.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: HIM i, mean it's just.
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: Tremendous but HE'S i, mean he's still coming into his
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: own like the stuff that he's such a smart and
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: cerebral hitter that you, KNOW i don't know what the
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: ceiling is for, him BECAUSE i, mean right, now he's
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: fast as. Hell, too, Right so he has that component
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: like he's twenty. Three what are we going to see moving?
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: FORWARD i just can't. Wait i'm excited to see and
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: take it in stride what he is right. Now and
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: that's a one fifty four way to run his career
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: plus right like Thirteen jackson and thirty four rbid of
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: the lead off.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Spot like it's just it's it's, Awesome.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: Frandy what about another guy who was supposed to be
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: a star for The, Nationals Dylan cruz just got called
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: back up. Yesterday what did he make any? Adjustments did
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: he change anything in TRIPLE? A his numbers in TRIPLE
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: a weren't. Great but now he's back in the big.
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: LEAGUES i know he started the. Hundred did you get
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: a hit last?
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: TIME i?
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: FORGOT i feel, yeah oh. Okay but has he made
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: any adjustments from where he?
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Was?
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: Absolutely Uh so first month was like just to kind
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: of get, it get back into the grind like and
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: fill it.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: Out and he needed to make.
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: Adjustments and again he is the prime example of not
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: needing to be in the big leagues when he. DID
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: i still think he's the biggest game changer that they
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: could have as far as like this going forward With
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: JAMES cj and, him.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: There's so much talent in.
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: There the may numbers would just they they're off the
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: chart for, him especially the last week week and a,
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: half like less chase on, everything, balls more up in the,
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: air standing taller at the, plate not sinking into his,
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: hips because that was a big thing THAT i. HAD
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: i was, like he was never like. That he would
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: so he would stand tall and then he would sink,
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: down so his head's already moving right and then you
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: would go. Forward it was like this collision, course but
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: like you're making THE l shape and guys that you
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: know like that do. That it's usually not a good.
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: Thing and so he's playing against himself on that he's.
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: HIT i, mean he was smoking.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: Ball it was the last.
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: Month he had like twenty balls over one hundred hundred
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: and five uh in in in TRIPLE a and now
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: that's TRIPLE, a, right we know it's not the, same but,
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: again getting that, consistency getting that contact, there he's one
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: one of the best athletes that you. HAVE i, mean
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: you got five six guys with like twenty nine sprint,
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: speed you know on this team you got you got so.
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: Much so he adds to that and the other part,
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: Too and you, KNOW i think we could all like,
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: agree like he he can't be the, dude but he
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: doesn't have to be the dude right, now and that
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: because the offense has been rolling so much that like
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: you don't feel like he's kind he did he came
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: in the first two, years offense, sucked, Right we're gonna
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: get it felt like we're getting no hit every, game
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: every game for five. Innings and now you're you're in
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: a spot where you don't have to be the guy
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: to get everything done AND i got to do it
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: all in one at. Bat AND i feel like this
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: is like the perfect storm to add him into this
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: and to see where he can go BECAUSE i am
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: A Dylan cruz, believer and put him AND cj and
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: And james together and that's a hell of a trio going.
• 17:05

  Speaker 1: Pod zach great to have you back.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: On so what do you have for us, here we're
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: just talking about how we felt like The giants are
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: not implementing their plan correctly with a top. Prospect what
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: are you seeing from The guardians figuring out some offense
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: with some of their young players this?
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: Season, Yeah i'm seeing a team that has a quiet
• 24:15
  Speaker 7: winter every, winter refuses to spend money and says we're
• 24:20
  Speaker 7: going to play the young, players and sometimes they abide by.
• 24:22
  Speaker 7: That this year they. Have they've they called Up Travis
• 24:26
  Speaker 7: bazana In, april they started chased the lotter on Opening.
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: Day they've Got Parker, messik who's been their most, consistent
• 24:33
  Speaker 7: reliable starting, pitcher who's also still technically a, rookie and
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: it's paying dividends for. THEM i don't want to support
• 24:41
  Speaker 7: the premise of rolling into a new season with the
• 24:44
  Speaker 7: league's lowest, payroll especially when you've won two consecutive division.
• 24:48
  Speaker 7: Titles but it's hard to argue with what they've done
• 24:52
  Speaker 7: so far in terms of actually putting the kids out
• 24:56
  Speaker 7: there and letting them, play and you know they've been
• 24:59
  Speaker 7: rewarded for.
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: It has it been?
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: Good do they? Did?
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: They because we were in spring training In goodyear and
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: we talked to some of their. Players we talked to
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: THEIR gm and we, said what do you think and he,
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: said not only to laud or not Only, Bizana we
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: have a whole slew of young guys. Coming are they
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: do they believe in them this much that they're just
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: aren't going to spend money and they can keep recycling
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: these guys through new.
• 25:23
  Speaker 7: Guys, YEAH i mean eventually that catches up to, you, Right,
• 25:26
  Speaker 7: like that's why we see all those stats all the
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: time of you, know no team with a payroll ranking
• 25:31
  Speaker 7: at this part has won A World series SINCE. X,
• 25:34
  Speaker 7: right this is these are like The Bizarro World guardians
• 25:38
  Speaker 7: though where for a couple of years now their top
• 25:41
  Speaker 7: prospects list has been all. Hitters we've they've they're known
• 25:45
  Speaker 7: as the Pitching, factory and they've had this pipeline that's churned,
• 25:48
  Speaker 7: out you, know capable starting pitcher after capable starting, pitcher
• 25:52
  Speaker 7: and they have a solid. Rotation they don't have a
• 25:54
  Speaker 7: ton of depth, there but their offense is actually functional
• 26:00
  Speaker 7: and they do some things really. Well they they're third
• 26:03
  Speaker 7: in the league and walk, right they're third in the
• 26:04
  Speaker 7: league in strikeout, rape they're third and stolen. Bases they're
• 26:09
  Speaker 7: waiting On manzardo And Jose ramirez And Reese hoskins to
• 26:13
  Speaker 7: provide the power to cash in all of that traffic
• 26:16
  Speaker 7: on the, bases but especially what we're accustomed to with The,
• 26:20
  Speaker 7: guardians it's it's been a breath of fresh air watching the,
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: offense especially in recent. Weeks Travis bizan has played a
• 26:26
  Speaker 7: huge part in that to latter obviously has been great
• 26:29
  Speaker 7: from the get, go but, yeah they've got. MORE i,
• 26:32
  Speaker 7: Mean Angel, Hanau Ralphie, Velasquez Cooper, ingle these are maybe
• 26:36
  Speaker 7: not household names outside Of, cleveland but their top one
• 26:38
  Speaker 7: hundred prospects whose bats are pretty close to being ready
• 26:43
  Speaker 7: for the major. Leagues and so it's. Weird you, know
• 26:46
  Speaker 7: we're not used to this In. Cleveland we're used to
• 26:48
  Speaker 7: watching a lot of two to one games and wondering
• 26:51
  Speaker 7: if they can win eighty five games to win the,
• 26:53
  Speaker 7: division and that might be the case again this. Year
• 26:56
  Speaker 7: but it's a different type of.
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: Team what any of these guys be allowed to be
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: called up with other organizations in the sense, that like
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: we talk about prospects in small, markets they get their
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: shot and they're put in, there And Steven vote does
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: an amazing job of getting these guys are is it
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: other organizations missing an, opportunity or do other organizations look
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: at The guardians and, go they got two guys with
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: the ops over eight, Hundred like they're really not calling
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: up that.
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: Great they wouldn't have gotten called up with other with our.
• 27:26
  Speaker 7: Organization, YEAH i, mean The guardians are typically deliberate with,
• 27:32
  Speaker 7: this and they're not gonna push, guys and they're gonna
• 27:34
  Speaker 7: give those those guys who are twenty four to twenty,
• 27:37
  Speaker 7: five twenty, six like every single opportunity possible to thrive
• 27:42
  Speaker 7: because they can't afford to cut somebody loose and then
• 27:46
  Speaker 7: they go thrive, elsewhere, Right so this is different. THOUGH i,
• 27:49
  Speaker 7: Mean Travis bizzano was the number one overall. Pick he
• 27:51
  Speaker 7: was the seventh guy in the top ten from the
• 27:54
  Speaker 7: twenty twenty fourth draft to reach the big, league so
• 27:57
  Speaker 7: it's not, like you, know they they fast track and
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: other teams wouldn't have done. That Chase delatter was a
• 28:03
  Speaker 7: first round pick who would have debuted much earlier than he,
• 28:06
  Speaker 7: did but he had a bunch of injury. Issues so
• 28:09
  Speaker 7: this is The guardians getting out of character a little.
• 28:12
  Speaker 7: Bit but it's also a couple exceptions to the norm
• 28:15
  Speaker 7: just because these are actually like legitimate. Talents you, know
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: for a long time The guardians didn't have those blue
• 28:22
  Speaker 7: chip hitting. Prospects they weren't able to develop hit as,
• 28:24
  Speaker 7: well and so maybe that's side is turning. Here but
• 28:28
  Speaker 7: it helps when you have the first round, pick the
• 28:31
  Speaker 7: top twenty five, prospect like those, guys they're going to
• 28:34
  Speaker 7: pan out more than what we've seen In cleveland in recent.
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: Years we got a few quiz questions, here But i'm
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: going to go first to one of the five quiz.
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: Questions you already hit on one of. Them how many stone?
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: Bases Is Jote, ramirez WHO i chose to lead the
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: league in stone, bases going to end up have this
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: having this?
• 28:55
  Speaker 7: Year, yeah it's. Crazy so IF i told you that
• 28:58
  Speaker 7: there was a thirty three year old who had league average,
• 29:02
  Speaker 7: speed AND i, said how many stolen bases do you
• 29:05
  Speaker 7: think this guy will have this? Year what would you?
• 29:07
  Speaker 7: Say like ten? Seven, Well Jose ramirez is on pace
• 29:13
  Speaker 7: for sixty. Five so that speaks to the, instincts it
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: speaks to the, experience it speaks to studying pitchers and.
• 29:21
  Speaker 7: Catchers HE'S i, MEAN i feel LIKE i hope we
• 29:26
  Speaker 7: all talk about it. Enough just THE iq there and
• 29:29
  Speaker 7: what makes this guy so good and has made him
• 29:32
  Speaker 7: so good for so, long he's a, step two steps,
• 29:34
  Speaker 7: ahead and so, yeah the new rules have. Helped he
• 29:38
  Speaker 7: has set a career high in stolen bases each of
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: the last two, years but that's with forty one and
• 29:43
  Speaker 7: forty four and now he's already got twenty through fifty,
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: games so he's on pace for about sixty. Five and
• 29:50
  Speaker 7: it's it's insane what this guy continues to. Do and
• 29:54
  Speaker 7: it's it's obviously The guardians need him to be that
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: kind of.
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: Player what percentage pitches Has Stephen kwan swung at this?
• 30:02
  Speaker 7: Season, yeah he's it's. Weird you, know you look at
• 30:06
  Speaker 7: The guardians lineup and, again like IF i told, you,
• 30:09
  Speaker 7: hey things are going pretty well for, them you would
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: Think kwan had had a big part in. That and
• 30:14
  Speaker 7: that's he's the one guy who just hasn't gotten. Going
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: and so The guardians wanted him to be more. Aggressive
• 30:20
  Speaker 7: he's swung at about thirty four percent of all. Pitches
• 30:23
  Speaker 7: that's way below league, average it's below his previous. Norms
• 30:28
  Speaker 7: so they want him swinging more because pitchers know you
• 30:31
  Speaker 7: can get ahead of him because he's certainly not going
• 30:33
  Speaker 7: to offer it the first. Pitch his first pitch swing
• 30:35
  Speaker 7: percentage is the lowest in the, league and so you
• 30:38
  Speaker 7: get ahead of him a one and then you just
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: throw pitches away and make him chase or. Whatever and
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: it's it's why he. Struggled so he's drawn some, walks
• 30:45
  Speaker 7: but he hasn't really hit much at. All he's hitting
• 30:47
  Speaker 7: about two oh. Four there's no power. There so they
• 30:51
  Speaker 7: dropped him out of the leadoff. Spot they need him
• 30:53
  Speaker 7: to get. Going they think by hitting him sixth or
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: seventh guys getting on base ahead of, him he'll get
• 30:59
  Speaker 7: more pitches to swing. At he's just got to pull
• 31:02
  Speaker 7: the trigger and actually.
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: Swing, zach what's wrong With Tanner? BIBY i, KNOW i
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: think he's pitching. Tonight what's wrong With Tanner? Biby he
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: was so good and so consistent for years with them
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: the last few years and, now BUT i think he's
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: going four with a six E. R what's the difference
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: With Tanner biby right?
• 31:20
  Speaker 7: Now, yeah so he's own six a little over. Four
• 31:26
  Speaker 7: it's it's. Weird a couple of. Things, one he has
• 31:29
  Speaker 7: gotten THE i believe it's the second worst run support
• 31:32
  Speaker 7: of any starting pitcher in, Baseball so that explains the
• 31:36
  Speaker 7: win loss, record if you want to look at. That
• 31:39
  Speaker 7: he's just been. Okay like the walk rates a little
• 31:42
  Speaker 7: high for. Him he had a home run problem last.
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: Year the home runs haven't been too big of an issue,
• 31:49
  Speaker 7: yet but he's giving up giving up more. Hits it's
• 31:51
  Speaker 7: just like a couple bad starts have skewed those numbers
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: a little. Bit he's been much better his last few.
• 31:57
  Speaker 7: Starts hasn't been pitching as deep AS i think he's
• 32:01
  Speaker 7: looking for the right pitch mix that's gonna help him
• 32:05
  Speaker 7: put guys. Away he's been getting to two strikes and
• 32:07
  Speaker 7: then can't finish people, off SO i think he'll be.
• 32:11
  Speaker 7: Okay it's, weird you, know you look at their rotation
• 32:14
  Speaker 7: and Like cantillo is having a breakout, Year Parker messik
• 32:18
  Speaker 7: has been. Awesome Gadvin williams has been mostly really, good
• 32:22
  Speaker 7: and so Like biby and ranking like where he is
• 32:25
  Speaker 7: on the team's problems, list like you kind of have
• 32:29
  Speaker 7: to nitpick just, because like the, numbers the things he
• 32:32
  Speaker 7: control aren't too bad and the rotation has been good
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: enough that you know you're kind of overlooking what he's.
• 32:39
  Speaker 7: Done and if he can get some run, support you,
• 32:41
  Speaker 7: know maybe we'll stop.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: Nitpicking, HEY i want to queue up the board that
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: we have on those quiz, questions the second, board which
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: has some reliever notes in. THERE i want to actually
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: go to the bottom one. Here The guardians like this
• 32:58

  Speaker 2: Pirates i've had some bullpen issues. Lately they're, like, man
• 33:23

• 33:47
  Speaker 7: and it's just been incredible ever. Since The keys throwing.
• 33:50
  Speaker 7: Strikes but you guys know that it's like a big
• 33:53
  Speaker 7: difference you can make in a team year to year
• 33:56
  Speaker 7: is just finding those guys who were in another organization
• 34:00
  Speaker 7: and just struggling in a relief. Role and it's one mechanical,
• 34:05
  Speaker 7: fix it's one pitch grip, change it's it's one little
• 34:09
  Speaker 7: thing that can unlock a. Lot And Colin Colin olderman

• 34:15
